It seems like forever now that we have been reporting on the upcoming Soska sisters remake of David Cronenberg’s Rabid. But now it seems as if the film may actually be coming to fruition.
In a recent article, THR dropped the info that A71 Entertainment has taken the Canadian rights to the remake and the film will be going into production in 2018.
Michael Walker, Paul Lalonde and John Vidette of Back 40 Pictures are producing the updated film.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be reimagining Rabid,” The Soska sisters said in a statement about their remake. “Ten years into his career, David reimagined The Fly, and it was perhaps his most successful film. Now, 10 years into our directing careers, we take on his 1977 classic”.
We’ll keep you up to date on the film as it progresses.
Synopsis:
Rose, a young woman who, after an accident leaves her scarred beyond recognition, undergoes a radical untested stem-cell treatment. While turning Rose into the belle of the ball, the experimental transformation comes at a price.
